are ashamed to say many of them decent

How do you feel to-day, Fredg"
"Fust rate" was the rejoinder.
Another solemn looking old fellow asked
the criminal 'ef he didn't pray none"

Inc tnal scenes at the gibbet have already
been given to the reader by telegraph. No
stronger argument against public execu-
ions could be afforded Many regarded
the perpetrator of one of the most diabolical
murders on record in the light of martyr,
ana sonorous amens and expressions of sym
pathy were to be heard during the utter
anceS of criminal and clergy from the scat
Iold. AT the same time there is little doubt
That reprleve from the Governor would
have been the greatest possible disappoint-
ment to majority of the negroes present.
Such scenes serve but to whet the appetite
for blood and imbrute the senses of the I'M
tutored masses. While the multitude were
witnessing this sickening tragedy from tree
top, hillside and every description of vehicle,
the mercury stood

Louisville boasts a capital boarding house,
the Central Hotel, kept by Mr. H. Fay and
WIFE, The latter is a host within herself
and is almost ubiquitous in the effort to
please her guests. On the day of the chang
ing" she performed prodigies It is an ''ill
wind that blows nobody any good" and
from sun to sun the merchants reaped a
steady harvest of dimes and nickles from the
ebony crowd. An agreeable change from
the excruciating dizziness of the preceding
days. The crops in Jefferson county are
superb
In Wadley the writer spent the night at
the Donavan House which it is always a
real pleasure to visit. 1t is regarded by the
drummerS as one. of their pet stopping
places Trade was very quiet, but the
people are serenely quaffing their delicious
artesian and patiently awaiting the opening
of the cotton season.
BARLOW.
We drove over in buggy from Wadley
to this thriving place, which will be incor-
porated when the Legislature meets. The
leading spirit and richest capitalist is John
A. Mcmillan, Esq, who owns the larger
portion of the real estate in and around the
village, and does an immense mercantile
business. Among the recent improvements
is the handsome new store of Speir g.
Brown. which is crowded with goods in
great variety. Mr.. w. c. Smith has also
largely increased his stock of merchandise.
W. J. Evans is the gentlenanly railroad
agent and Notary Public, and Mr.. George
T. Palmer continues to perform the duties
of Southern Express agent to the satisfac-
ton of every one. Two artesian wells dis
pense their pluvial blessings to the commu-
nifty, and their waters are declared to be
highly beneficial in all complaints of the
stomach and kidneys.
When the town has been regularly laid
out and incorporated, its onward progress
will receive great impetus. The MORNING
NEWS is the favorite journal here.
swAINsBoRo,
the seat of Justice for Emanuel county, is
situated eighteen miles from the Central
railroad, in an elevated and beautiful pine
region, with the clay cropping out to the
surface, showing kind apd pro-
ducrive soil. 1t is just such land as
can be made, by judicious fer
tilizing and tillage, TO produce the most
surprising results. And this was clearly
manifested by the immense fields of luxuri-
ant corn and cotton TO be seen on, every
side. The town IAN old one) is connected
with the Central by new railway built by
private enterprise, (which is under tue man

At present the passenger is thankful TO

When the concern is incorporated, however,
Mai. Wallace and his associates may have
word TO say in the premises.

barely gotten across when the bank caved,
carrying with it several arches of the bridge.
This was from the lack of braces. They
were on the spot but had not been put IN
